The eiffel tower

The Eiffel Tower is an iron made tower located at the Champ De Mars in Paris in France and has become the
symbol of French culture across the globe. The tower has been named after an engineer – Gustav Eiffel. He
was assigned to design the tower and was made initially as the entrance of a fair named World’s Fair in 1889.
Although there are several levels in the tower, only three is accessible for the visitors and tourists in the country.
At first, the design to make the tower was assigned to Eiffel’s company and then the outline was sketched to
make the tower. A notable time has been invested in making the design perfect and an enhanced one but there
were some technical troubles for the practical use of the tower.

The tower was made in 1889 and over 125 years have passed since its construction. The tower is made of iron
and the construction process was done in several phases. During the construction period, it was considered as
the tallest structure in the world and the Washington monument of the USA was defeated in comparison to
height. It was the tallest structure on earth for 41 years (until 1930 when the construction of Chrysler Building in
NY began), but now it is taller than the Chrysler building as an aerial has been added on the top of the
structure.
